Minnie Mae Day

See Photo Location

Downtown Lexington (locations + schedule coming soon)

Lexington has a story that deserves the spotlight — and her name is Minnie Mae!

For too long, Minnie Mae Talbott has been a footnote when she should’ve been a headline. She was a woman of grit, strength and purpose — the kind of person who didn’t wait for permission to lead. She showed up, stood tall and made history in a time when women weren’t always allowed to.

Minnie Mae Day is a community celebration built to honor her legacy and the women who’ve carried Lexington forward ever since.

This isn’t just a history lesson.
It’s a day to remember, celebrate and reclaim the story.

✨ What to expect:
• Community gathering + storytelling
• Historic highlights + local legends
• Family-friendly activities
• Local businesses + downtown support
• Photos, video features, and “Lexington pride” moments
• Special guests / program announcements coming soon

This event is part of a bigger effort to grow Lexington’s tourism, elevate local businesses and build events that people travel for — because a town this rich in story deserves a bigger audience.
